There's 9 budget lines with only three that can be transferred between. Budgeting would still be important. Maybe more emphasis needs to be put on scouting budget effects.
So, transfers weren't allowed in the beginning. They improved it by allowing transfers. Improve it more by changing the penalty. maybe put a salary cap in place not a transfer penalty. say any one with a player salary budget over $100 million pays a budget penalty. Wouldn't this be more in line with current MLB. Keep a budget total limit of $185 million still.
If I have excess in player salary why shouldn't I be able to transfer all to prospect budget. isn't it still player salary. Make the penalty if transferring from prospect to player salary only.

i think this game's goal neither is nor never was to rival major league baseball. i'm just thankful we all have the same amount of money to spend.

I think the 50% penalty is a good thing, but why only have it for a minimum of $2 million? I have $1.273 million left over after signing all my coaches. Why shouldn't I be able to transfer the excess to Prospects or Salaries?

Penalty for transferring money between budgets is one of the dumbest parts of HBD. Completely unrealistic. Removes a lot of strategy from the game. Instead of more strategy you have to make a wild to semi-educated guess during a 24 hours period. And if you miss that tiny window you're out of luck. One of several customer-hostile HBD rules that could be changed with very little programming.

Pretty sure you have that wrong. While it's not an endless supply of money, you have to decide what the best way to spend it on Day 1 or take a penalty. If I have 130m for players, coaches and prospects, I can change what I'm doing over and over again thus covering for my poor decisions on Day 1 and beyond.
